Perth’s Top Mortgage & Home Loan Brokers

The mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between the client and the lender in terms of home loans and the mortgage process. The mortgage broker works with you, the client, to find the right kind of home loan that works within your financial budget and works within the type of home that you need.

The broker will primarily make sure you can afford the loan and that also assumes you can afford the loan at higher interest rates. They will then find you the cheapest interest rate on the product which meets your needs. We usually set up a time to meet so you can ask as many questions as you like. They will then collate all the information, package an application how the lender wants to see it and then submit the application on your behalf. In most cases, the assessor will then have a number of questions related to your documentation which we help with. After the approval is given, we’ll help you sign up the loan documentation and go over it with you to make sure they are completed correctly to get ready for settlement.

Working with a mortgage broker is most beneficial to you as the broker will do all of the legwork on your behalf in terms of researching the best lender to go with in your unique financial situation. If you had to do the research yourself, you would be saddled with making multiple phone calls, inquiries, and possible travel to each lending institution directly.

You would also spend time and money on making multiple copies of the proper paperwork that you would need for each lender. Using a mortgage broker eliminates the extra time and expense and instead, the broker will receive payment in form of a commission for their time and expense in getting the deal done between the lender and yourself.

Banks are very singular and have a mostly “take it or leave it” approach when it comes to offering home loans. There is usually no wiggle room for the client to negotiate with a bank, you may have a little bit of room if you’re a client of the bank itself, but otherwise, the opportunity to barter for a better rate is slim to non-existent.

On the other hand, the mortgage broker works for you and tries to get you a better rate and is more willing to press for a better rate on your behalf.

At Orange Mortgage and Finance Brokers, in most cases we don’t charge you a fee. In some cases, if the loan amount is small e.g. under $150,000, we might have to charge you a fee but we will tell you when that is the case.

We also let you know that we are not biased toward any lender. Regardless what lender we use, our commission is almost the same,  provided we use one of the “big 15”. It means that you wouldn’t save any money by approaching the lenders yourself, because they simply take the commission that they would have paid us.

We also have an open book policy. When we make our recommendations with at least 3 different lenders shown, we show you what they would all pay and you will see, there is little (if any) difference between them.

The mortgage broker will usually ask for documents and ID that will both verify your income and verify that you are a legal resident of Australia. These documents are: a valid identification card with your photo on it, such as a driving license or valid passport. All lenders are different and some require more documentation than others but in general, pay slips, bank statements, other liabilities statements such as credit cards etc. are typically what is required to submit an application.

The mortgage broker makes their money by being paid a commission by the lender.

A mortgage broker works as a “finder” for lending institutions to find clients who need lending services. Think of it this way, clients in search of a home need lending services, lending institutions need clients to borrow money from them to purchase homes. This is where the mortgage broker comes into play and tries to pair clients with lenders to facilitate home loans to help out both.

A mortgage lender is the lending institution that was referenced in the above paragraph. Mortgage lenders don’t go around scouting for clients as that’s what mortgage brokers do. Mortgage lenders have the much-needed capital sought out by clients to purchase homes with.

Freedom of choice and freedom of networking, these are two major advantages that a mortgage broker holds over a bank. A bank is limited on who and what they can lend out and lend to in terms of risk. The higher the risk for the bank, the less chance that the bank will approve the loan request or they’ll approve the loan but with added assurances for the bank such as higher interest rates and bigger down payment required from the client.

A mortgage broker has the freedom to select from a lengthy list of lending institutions that work within a wide range of creditworthiness for clients of all walks of financial life. You are more likely to find a better lending rate through a mortgage broker versus going through a bank.
